we loved the location being a 5 minute walk into Stirling for coffees and breakfasts. We loved the pretty garden. the chocolates and wine were a lovely , unexpected treat! The fire made the apartment cozy and warm. Freya was helpful when we asked for a lighter duna as the fire made the bedroom too warm for the winter weight duna! The hot water service wasnt working on arrival but it was fixed very quickly the next morning .

The easy walk to Stirling - no need to use the car. The garden was magnificent to look out on and the location so quiet and peaceful. The building holds so much history - it was special to be able to stay in such beautiful surroundings.

Cute property, lovely location, very friendly cat was a bonus (did not come inside but greeted us daily and was keen for a pat). There was a fire box (which we didn't use because we weren't there enough) but it would've been lovely, and there was plenty of firewood and kindling, etc. It was very cold when we visited, but I can imagine that beautiful garden in summer - lots of nice places to sit, a little running creek, etc. The property ?owner/?manager bumped into us as we were leaving and was very friendly and pleasant.

I was aware on booking that the apartment was split level but hadn't realised (despite combing the pictures carefully) that the bathroom was not on the same level as the bedroom. The first step was irregularly sized and meant a "step down" right in front of the clothes rod. My partner actually stumbled down it twice during our stay and exacerbated a pre-existing knee injury. Also there was a step Up to the bathroom - another negative in the dark. The bathroom was large, but the vanity was a tiny basin (little larger than a soup bowl) Inside a corner cupboard, so that one needed to place one's head Inside the cupboard to rinse (or shave!). It was a little bizarre. There was also Very limited space to place toiletries/cosmetics, etc. Final negative with the property was that the heating was completely ineffective in the lounge (and therefore bathroom) area. Though, had we lit the fire, this would've been resolved. The main factor influencing the overall negative rating however was that, after making a "non-refundable" booking, I received a request for a $300 security deposit. Not unreasonable in itself, but on paying the deposit, I received a list of "conditions" to be met for return of the deposit. Whilst these may or may not have been reasonable, I felt that greater transparency was required PRIOR to completing a booking (let alone payment).

Absolutely beautiful cottage. Lovely welcome gifts.

Beautifully styled cottage with old features and wonderful garden. Very picturesque, cosy and cute.

Could have had another set of towels for our 10 day stay aswell as, having more than 3 rolls of toilet paper, had to go out and buy our own. There was also an issue with the toilet flushing from the beginning and was getting clogged. A few dead flies on the window sill, right of bed. Little bit of dust here and there but not very bothersome.

Location. Quiet. Good facilities.

very welcoming, clean and comfortable. incredibly relaxing. great location. it’s like living in a treehouse. definitely recommend.
